The Risk of Staying the Course with Software Maintenance and Support

You might think hanging onto your old software maintenance plan is the safest route for your IT estate, but is it really?  

IT has always been an enormous expense for companies. Unfortunately, with software maintenance costs rising faster than inflation, fewer dollars are left in the overall IT budget for innovation.  

Although software is the second-highest IT spend category, most of that (about 90%) is already earmarked for keeping your current software running. That only leaves 10% for the digital transformation initiatives, like AI and augmented reality, that corporate leaders are expecting IT to implement.  

Staying the course when it comes to your software maintenance and support is not an option anymore— it’s too expensive. 

With technology being the primary driver of business transformation, the responsibility falls upon IT leaders and those who make decisions about how to optimize your tech estate and invest in future digital initiatives.  

Leaping ahead of your competition requires moving quickly to facilitate future change. Successful companies challenge the status quo. They examine the way things have always been done and then look for more innovative approaches that will take their organizations to the next level.
